I WILLIAM P. WAGE, OF BARRE CENTRE, NEW YORK.

SAD-IRON HEATER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5,32 dated September 25, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. 1?. WAGE, of Barre Centre, in the county of Orleans and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron Heaters and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention. consists in the construction of a metallic stove, made portable, and to be heated by a lamp or gas, for the purpose of heating sad-irons. This device saves labor and time, and can be used in warm weather to the comfort of the persons employed in ironing.

In the drawings hereto annexed, and forming a part of this specification, A represents the stove, which is made of cast-iron, sheetiron, or other suitable metal, in the form shown, whereby an airchamber is formed between the upper casting, m, and lower easting, a. The castings m and n are level surfaces, the upper one, m, being provided with a small gutter, c, and a flange, a, near the outer edge and passing around three sides of the said casting or top. The lower casting, 11., forms the bottom of the heater, being supportedby suitable legs, and is provided with two or more small tubes, as seen at H, Fig. 2,

which extend a slight distance beneath the casting and at thefront portion of the stove.

B represents a sheet-iron case, which is provided with two or more oblong slots, 1), and is placed within the gutterc, and secured by means of the flange a. This case projects a suitable distance above the casting m to allow the sadiron to be incased between said casting and the top of case B. The oblong slots 1) are to allow the handles of the iron to pass.

0 represents the lamp, which is a metallic or other box or globe, provided with suitable burners, and placed beneath the casting a, so that the burners of the lamp may pass into the tubes H, heating the air-chamber.

a: a; are two or more windows made in the air-chamber, of isingiass, to regulate the heat of the lamps.

E is a chimney, which is set over a thimble upon the casting m, and passingabov'e the case B, to carry the smoke from the air-chamber.

D are suitable handles, which. are secured to the ends of the heater, to carr the same from place to place.

Having thus fully described my invention,

1 what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- y The stove A, constructed, as described, with an air-chamber, provided with a metallic case,

B, lamp 0, and pipe E, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

As evidence that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
